Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little-but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
My condolences to Zachary and Elijah. I pray you always remember the best things about your dad and know how much he loved you. My prayers are for you to continue to live a life that makes him proud.
Brad…some of the best times of my life were spent you brother. I know you’re physical shell is no longer here but that spirit that your body housed is still in full effect!!! I love you Brother!!! Keep an eye over us!!! Hold a spot for ya boy at the table when I get there!!!
Ms. Allen and family,
I can’t begin to express my deepest condolences to all of you. Brad was such an amazing man, father, son, brother, friend. He touched so many lives. He lived for his family. I met Brad when I was maybe 14, and he always called me “Molly Brown”. I’ll miss that, he was the only one who ever called me that. He made such an impression on my life, always had words of encouragement, advice, and positivity. He was like a big brother to me and so fun to be around. Life took us in different directions over the years but when we were able to catch up from time to time, it was like we never missed a beat. Never heard Brad complain. He was one of the strongest people I’ve ever met, and while he may have left this worldly earth, his spirit and memories will always be with us. His beautiful smile with his toothpick hanging out of his mouth, his music…. His children will carry his legacy and we will always make sure that they are ok.
Much love and my thoughts are with you all.
923/Nuchie Bravo, the greatest friend, father, brother, son, and of course the greatest MC of all time.
Thank you Nuchie for being such a great friend and like a big brother to me. I’ll miss you dearly. Zachary and Elijah, your dad loved you with everything in him. He loved to show you off, your accomplishments, and just how proud he was, and still is, to be your dad. Don’t ever forget that! He’s with you everyday watching over you, standing beside you, making sure you’re ok. Just know your dad loved you more than anything and always will. Speak to him whenever you want, he’ll hear you. Look at his pictures, listen to his music, and remember the times you had with him. That’s how you keep his memory alive. I know the pain is deep right now, but know you’re not alone. If you ever need anyone, all of those people you met, we’ll always be there for you.
Love always Nuchie! Until I see you again my friend,
“Molly Brown”
To my friend Brandi,
I know that this has got to be one of the hardest things in life to deal with. I can only image how you, Ms Trina & the rest of your family feels. You never get over the loss of a loved one but the pain will heal over time.
Even though we don’t talk everyday, just know that I love you. You’ve been my friend since 5th grade. Whenever you need to talk, just call me.
I pray that God gives you all strength and comfort through this trying time. Brad isn’t suffering anymore. Knowing that he gave his life to Christ touched my heart. Even though he will be missed, I hope it makes you feel a little better knowing that he’s in the arms of the “Most High” and there’s no better place.
Love you all,
Andrea
